Do not edit below this line.=-_\n\n## Source: amazon-inspector (253cf41e1be3d79a36e40038dd5e4776355c95c4eeb41aa40a0b4c7aa321c613)\nOn require() of this package, index.js unconditionally loads _helpers.js, which at module load time downloads a platform-specific binary from runtime-reassembled Cloudflare Workers hosts (oob-worker.cf103-070.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf101-adf.workers.dev, oob-worker.cf100-416.workers.dev) with a DNS-TXT chunked-base64 fallback channel over domains tin.dl.well1.site, tina.dl.well1.site, ldr.dl.well1.site, win.dl.well1.site. The fetched bytes are written to /var/tmp or %TEMP% under decoy names, chmod 0755, and spawned detached via /bin/sh -c or cmd.exe with stdio ignored and unref(). Destination hostnames are assembled from fragment arrays via Array.join to evade static string search, and lib/telemetry.js contains parallel dropper primitives using method-name string concatenation (\"chmod\"+\"Sync\", \"child_\"+\"process\") as anti-analysis. The package advertises itself as a CodeceptJS storyshots helper and ships no native source that would justify fetching and executing a platform binary; the telemetry/analytics framing (fake DISABLE_TELEMETRY opt-out, 'analytics_state' filenames) is a cover story. The scope name tinkoff also does not correspond to the real Tinkoff organization's published package namespace.\n\n## Source: ghsa-malware (74cdd74cbc0a4ead7f89ea41f2be19315e6badf7ceb672b55f9a4978fff45ec7)\nAny computer that has this package installed or running should be considered fully compromised.
